How To Style A Coffee Table-Home Improvement Thursday.

In the last few weeks, we’ve looked at how to create a vignette, and how to style an entry. While looking around my house for the next project to tackle, my eyes happened across my ‘coffee table’ or in this case it’s actually an ottoman. We love our ottoman, and for our family and home, it’s simple styling is exactly right. However, there are so many ways to style a coffee table, I thought I would share some ideas with you.

It isn’t hard to decorate your coffee table, because it’s such a small space remember not to over clutter it, you’ll need enough room to rest you drink, cup of tea or your feet as well. 🙂

Last weeks #HIT saw a new linker!! I was so excited to see Lydia from Always Made With Love and her Transport Inspired Bedroom. It’s such a lovely space for her young son. I particularly loved the custom shelving and her husbands old wooden toys. A gorgeous room.

I was also lucky enough to be featured on The Multitasking Woman last week, where I shared my views on “having it all”.

Our coffee table is clear because the girls love to use it for their toys or colouring in. I’d love to have a big ottoman like yours in our family area but not till the girls are older. Love all the styling photos! Great post.
